CF Land Electronic Warfare Modernization

New Systems

Objective

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) must be able to employ the electromagnetic spectrum effectively as an integral aspect of all military operations, while selectively denying or exploiting the adversary's use of it and protecting Canadian Armed Forces from the effects of hostile action taken using electromagnetic triggers. The Canadian Forces Land Electronic Warfare Modernization project will improve the Canadian Armed Forces’ ability to monitor, manage and deliberately deny the use of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Requirements

This project will satisfy five capabilities, including electronic warfare support, force protection electronic attack, counter command and control electronic attack, electronic warfare planning management and analysis, and electronic warfare vehicles. These capabilities will contribute to gaining the initiative and surprising the enemy by selectively exploiting or denying adversarial use of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to understand the potential adversary’s intent, prevent them from gaining a clear understanding of the operational environment, and ensure that they cannot impede friendly manoeuvre through the use of electromagnetic triggers.

Unit Weapons Training System

Replace Existing Systems

Objective

The project will provide the virtual simulation baseline for training dismounted soldiers up to section level to include all in-service small arms, dismounted crew served weapons and be ready to integrate Forward Observation Officer and Forward Air Controller (FOO/FAC) and mortar detachments. The Unit Weapons Training System (UWTS) will be interoperable with the Land Vehicle Crew Training System (LVCTS) virtual world enabling the dismounted soldiers, crews and detachments to conduct section/detachment operations in a platoon/troop context.

Requirements

The project will procure modern high fidelity simulators with the required network and visual capabilities to interact/integrate with the LVCTS virtual world for up to section level training in a platoon/troop context. All UWTS virtual simulators should re-use and/or adapt the existing infrastructure space currently used by the Small Arms Trainers and Indirect Fire Trainers across Canada. The UWTS will address all individual and section level weapons training requirements from marksmanship to section assaults. The integration of other Army dismounted assets including but not limited to: FOO/FAC, dismounted reconnaissance and observation posts will be addressed under separate Service Level Agreements with other dismounted training systems requiring access to the common virtual world, as required. The high fidelity expected of these simulators will be focused on the individual weapons handling and firing competencies.

Active RF Protection Systems

Replace Existing Systems

Objective

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) threats continue to predominate the modern-day battlefield, particularly in those countries or failed-states that foster insurgencies. This project will ensure technological readiness to meet these evolving threats for the Canadian Armed Forces land forces in theatres of operations. This capability will contribute to denying adversarial use of the electromagnetic spectrum for initiating IEDs and is interdependant with the broader Canadian Forces Land Electronic Warfare Modernisation project.

Requirements

These systems will have built-in sensors to detect RF energy, assess whether this RF energy is friend/foe/unknown and in turn output RF energy directed at selected hostile targets, thereby neutralizing the intended hostile effects. This project will acquire the next generation of radio controlled IED (RCIED) defence systems for use in training and expeditionary operations.
